This list was compiled from the Annual Reports of the Monticello Association, an organization of descendants of Thomas Jefferson. The Monticello Association is responsible for the care and preservation of the Monticello graveyard; Jefferson descendants are still buried there today.
It is interesting that Filippo’s wife, the previous Mrs. Martin from London, was also said to be buried in the Monticello Graveyard although she is not listed here. An email exchange with Monticello researchers did confirm that she IS indeed buried in the cemetery so perhaps this list only contains the actual Jefferson descendants and not all persons buried in the cemetery.
For her 5th Doctor Who lecture to the CPP community, Dr. Rosanne Welch discusses how society – and the show’s writing staff – prepared the audience for a major change in this 50-year franchise – the creation of the first Lady Doctor!

Then we have James Corden. Who doesn’t love James Corden right? When you’re bored some time you have to look at his Broadway his Tony Award Show opening. He’s wonderful and he’s all about inspiration and his character here is this goofy nutty dad who is just kind of a loser in many ways. He’s… he’s Stormageddons dad. Is that not just too cute for you, cuz cuz of course babies can talk to The Doctor and his name is Alfie but he tells The Doctor his name is Stormageddon and The Doctor tells his dad that. He as well kidnapped…. these Cybermen ruin everything don’t they. They just show up all the time but in this case he’s he’s about to be transformed into a Cyberman and hearing the baby cry draws the sensitivity in him to fight the Cyberman influence and break free. His dad-hood is what saves him. Not any other masculineness… Here’s my big gun. No I got all these big… The fact that he loves his child is the thing that saves his life. I think that’s so cool. I like that.

“Tame by today’s standards, Glyn’s scandalous romantic fiction had a huge influence on pop culture in the early 20th century. She popularized the concept of “It” – a certain type of sex appeal – and made Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow stars.”

To highlight the wonderful yet largely forgotten work of a collection of female screenwriters from the early years of Hollywood (and as a companion to the book, When Women Wrote Hollywood) we will be posting quick bits about the many films they wrote along with links to further information and clips from their works which are still accessible online. Take a few moments once or twice a week to become familiar with their names and their stories. I think you’ll be surprised at how much bold material these writers tackled at the birth of this new medium. — Rosanne Welch
My Man Godfrey is a 1936 American screwball comedy film directed by Gregory La Cava.[2] The screenplay was written by Morrie Ryskind, with uncredited contributions by La Cava, based on 1101 Park Avenue, a short novel by Eric Hatch. The story concerns a socialite who hires a derelict to be her family’s butler, only to fall in love with him. The film stars William Powell and Carole Lombard.[3] Powell and Lombard had been briefly married years earlier.[4]
The film was remade in 1957 with June Allyson and David Niven in the starring roles. In 1999, the original version of My Man Godfrey was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. — Wikipedia
